Troop 8 also plays an important role in daily traditions at the fairgrounds. They conduct the official flag raising and retirement each morning and evening, with Reveille to raise the flag and Taps to lower it. They also lead the Pledge of Allegiance, setting a tone of respect and unity for the event.
